Descripción del proyecto
Pronto el grafeno podría generalizarse en los compuestos
El grafeno puede mejorar la conductividad y la solidez de los materiales a granel y puede ayudar a crear compuestos con calidades superiores. Sin embargo, su gama de precios alta (entre 2 800 EUR y 7 600 EUR por kilogramo) representa un obstáculo. Para abordar este problema, la empresa Nanografi Nano Teknoloji con sede en Turquía ha desarrollado un método de producción de grafeno ecológico, rentable y sencillo, por lo que ofrece al grafeno una buena oportunidad en la industria de compuestos. El proyecto GREENGRAPHENE, financiado con fondos europeos, ha permitido a la empresa ofrecer un producto de nanoplaquetas de grafeno con la calidad deseada al menor precio posible (menos de 50 EUR por kilogramo) cuando la producción se amplíe a trescientas toneladas al año durante los próximos dos años. Los precios se pueden reducir aún más a medida que aumente la demanda.
Objetivo
Graphene-based materials gained a lot of interest by researchers worldwide and a wide variety of applications has been developed from them in the last decade. There are more than 45000 patent applications recorded after the inventors of graphene were awarded with Nobel prize in 2010. Graphene’s applications extend from fast charging high capacity batteries to light-weight and high strength aircraft parts. Composite industry is the field that graphene can be quickly adapted because graphene can be produced in powder form similar to many of the other additives used in the composites industry. Composites industry is a €63.2 Billion market and it is expected to reach above €113,85 Billion within the next 5-6 years. Offering performance properties comparable with the current metallic and ceramic materials is the main motivation for the composite producers and costs of the additives in the market constitutes only 1% (>€1 Billion market for additives) of the overall costs.
The major obstacle that prevents the rapid initiation and adaption of graphene into the composites market is the price ranges (2800-7600 €/kg) of the material with desired quality. In order to overcome this obstacle, Nanografi developed a simple, disruptive, cost-effective and environment-friendly graphene production method (patent pending) and offered a good chance for graphene in the composites industry. The developed method offers graphene nanoplatelet product with high quality and offering the lowest price range (<€85/kg graphene) after the production is scaled up to 100 tonnes/year within 5 years. The price offers can go down further as the demand increased. To conclude, in GREENGRAPHENE Project, Nanografi aims to bring its high quality graphene product which we produce by our highly innovative method to the composites market and prepare technical/ economical feasibility reports for increasing the use of graphene in the composites industry.
